The new issue of Rocknation is out on newstands so check it out.  You can see some of my photos from Mayhem Fest as well as an interview with Buckcherry.  You can also check out each issue online here.

So Rocknation now has some of the issues I’ve contributed to online if you want to check out a few of my past interviews.  Not all the issues are up yet but you can check out my interviews with:  3 Doors Down, Shinedown, Puddle of Mudd, Finger Eleven, Seether, and more.

To check them out, go to the Rocknation website and from the menu click on Newspaper Online.  It will provide you with a virtual edition of each issue!  Good stuff.  I’ve also included them in my links section.

In the next issue you can check out my interviews with Buckcherry, Papa Roach, along with some live shots!

The July/August issue of Rocknation is now available.  It’s now available in 46 states!  Just look for it in your local music based businesses (record stores, music clubs, etc!)

In this issue, I interviewed members of Finger Eleven and Seether (if I interview one more member of Seether I feel like I should be crowned an honorary member!) as well as assisted on interviews with Puddle of Mudd and Shinedown.  It’s a great issue with lots of amazing interviews.  Unfortunately I don’t think any of my photos made this issue but hopefully the next one will!  (I’ve got some great Iron Maiden shots just waiting!!)

The latest issue of The Pulse Magazine is now out and my piece on Kristina Grossmann and Rock For Health is in it.  For those of you who are not familiar with Rock For Health I encourage you to read the article and check out what Kristina is doing, I think it’s very important to the music community and we should all help out as much as we can.  You can also visit their official website here.

Here’s a link to the online version of it:

On April 25th, Gigantour 2008 thrashed its way into The Palladium in Worcester, MA. On the bill: Megadeth, In Flames, Children of Bodom, Job for a Cowboy and High on Fire.

After some miscommunication at the front door, I ended up missing High on Fire and was unable to shoot them. After that, I settled into the photo pit with about 20+ other photographers. At first this was pretty surprising because I had heard that they weren’t allowing a lot of photographers access to the tour but then I realized that they had coupled Gigantour with this years New England Hardcore and Metalfest so there were several photographers from all over there to cover that.

Megadeth

Job for a Cowboy

Children of Bodom

You can read my review of the show here on TheyWillRockYou.com and check out my photos from the show in the TheyWillRockYou.com photo galleries here.

On April 11 I headed on out to the lovely state of Connecti-suck to interview Anton Yurak of The Last Goodnight at their show at The Webster Theater in Hartford.  If you are not familiar with The Last Goodnight they currently have a video eating it’s way up the charts on VH1 and their debut album Poison Kiss is a pop smash hit.  While I had enjoyed their cd for awhile, I didn’t know much about the band personally so it was awesome to meet up with guitarist Anton and find him watching Cash Cab on tv.  (I love Cash Cab!)  He was very welcoming and a fun interview, so thanks to Anton for being soo cool.  You can read the full interview here on TheyWillRockYou.com.  I shot their set as well and you can find the full gallery here.

I was also excited to find out that I Nine was on the bill that night as well because I had interviewed lead singer Carmen Keigans a few months earlier and she was a really fun person to chat with. She was walking through WalMart and singing me songs during the interview. Have to love a free spirit. You can check out the interview with Carmen on TheyWillRockYou.com here and my live photos from I Nine’s set here.

And of course I have to mention that Matt White was on the bill as well! He played two shows that day and had to race from Pennsylvania to make his set in CT but he managed to pull it off! Photos of his set can be found here.

You can check out the April issue of The Pulse magazine for a few things I wrote that were published.
